Mantra Monday: I am resilient, I am focused

We all face hurdles each and every day. Some days are harder than others; some days are easier than others. When something happens that catches you off guard or makes your day a little harder its important to stay focused. Throw yourself into what you are doing and say to yourself "I am resilient, I am focused."

NYC: Eataly

A few streets away from Union Square lies one of the most unique restaurants I have ever been to, Eataly. 

This is another one of Mario Batali's restaurants that has mastered Italian food once again. I have been to several of his restaurants located in NYC and LA, but I have never come across one so different. It was set up like an Italian marketplace with different stations. There was a panini station, mozerella bar, seafood station, pizza station, gelato station, etc.

 Eataly also sold many Italian products and also sold food in a deli style. 

My boyfriend and I opted for the pizzeria station since we had just flown into NYC on the red eye and all we wanted was a piece of pizza and some wine.

 I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting NYC. This was an amazing find and I can't wait to go back to NYC one day and try another station. Maybe the Gelato?
